Here's your 'sweet spot' in the Valley! This centrally located home sits on a double wide street lined with LA’s iconic palm trees in the Kester Ridge neighborhood of Van Nuys and is move-in ready with enough wiggle room for your personal touch. With 2 beds/2.5 baths this quiet oasis sits off the street behind a secure gate making it very private and serene. The large bay window in the living room balances the fireplace (decorative only) flanked by two windows adding a bespoke charm and a peek into the adjacent 4-seasons porch beyond. The porch is a perfect spot for your morning coffee and direct access to backyard. Both bdrms are generously sized -- one features a 3/4 bath with original cerulean blue tile. The other has a modern ceiling fan and direct access, via a dressing room area, to the main bath with tub and shower. A central bonus room is currently used for music and passes thru to the porch and dining room. The formal dining room is filled with natural light and has a grand view of the backyard and pool through the oversized half-picture window. The remodeled cook’s kitchen features all wood soft close cabinetry - some with glass fronts and lighting – Italian terracotta floors, black granite countertops, upgraded stainless appliances including a 48” NXR vent hood, a fabulous feature faucet, pantry, and a roomy eat-in breakfast area. A separate laundry and storage area is located just off the breakfast room. There's a large patio for dining/entertaining family and friends, or you might prefer a nap in your hammock under the shade of the backyard tree after a day in the sparkling pool that beckons with a bespoke feature fountain made of a large slab of turquoise and cantilevered IPE deck. A small raised bed vegetable garden completes the picture. The garage is outfitted with a floating soundproof studio. (Seller will remove if you prefer to park your car inside.) A hardwired security system stays with the home and includes exterior cameras. Upgrades include new windows in most rooms, new interior/exterior paint, windows, landscape lighting, Intelflo pool pump, cool touch pool deck re-surfacing, Reynobond paneling fencing, privacy fence topper and irrigation. Pre-inspections: sewer, fireplace, and general. Many small touches throughout make this home unique and clearly very loved for many years. The current owners have lived here for 40 years and don't want to leave. You won't either!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
